Head Teacher’s Message
Welcome to our school website.
We are a large Infant & Nursery School in Huddersfield that serves families from a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds.
We are all very proud of our school, community and achievements.
Together we have maintained a good quality of education which has shown marked improvement.
We celebrate our richly diverse racial and cultural origins whilst at the same time promoting the fundamental British Values of tolerance, respect and consideration of others.
Ofsted April 2025 said: ‘Pupils behave exceptionally well throughout the day.’
Ofsted April 2025 recognises that our work in school ensures that all our pupils are enthusiastic, motivated and love coming to school. They said that: ‘Pupils achieve well…… The school has very high expectations of what pupils can do.’
We are all passionate about providing pupils with excellent teaching and are constantly trying to improve our provision so that pupils leave our school as keen, self-confident learners with the basic skills knowledge and understanding required to access KS2, firmly embedded. Ofsted April 2025 said: ‘Teachers have exceptionally strong subject knowledge – The school celebrates and encourages staff to innovate. The school does this with a clear understanding of what pupils need.’
Children’s physical and emotional needs are as important to us as their educational needs.
Ofsted April 2025 said: ‘The school helps pupils to develop their independence and resilience.’
Equally important are our safeguarding arrangements which are constantly reviewed and updated to ensure that they are fit for purpose and that everyone has appropriate training to keep children safe from harm.
Ofsted April 2025 said: ‘The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.’
Parents/carers are welcome into school at any time should they need any information about the school or have any concerns.
Ofsted April 2025 said: ‘The school works very successfully in partnership with parents and carers. Parents of pupils with SEND feel highly included in the decisions that the school makes about their children.’
Thank you for your time.
